Barcelona Excels in Ball Possession in the Spanish Super Cup
'Mundo Deportivo,' the Spanish newspaper, highlighted Barcelona's dominance in ball possession during the Spanish Super Cup final, noting that Hans Flick's team recorded a higher possession rate than that achieved by Pep Guardiola's Barcelona in the historic 5-0 victory over Real Madrid led by José Mourinho in 2010.
The newspaper mentioned that in the November 2010 Clasico, which coincided with the 111th anniversary of the club's founding, Barcelona possessed the ball 66% compared to 34% for Real Madrid, in one of the greatest matches in the club's history, which witnessed complete dominance by the Catalan team.
According to the Spanish newspaper, Flick's Barcelona surpassed that percentage in the Spanish Super Cup final held in Saudi Arabia, reaching 68% ball possession, confirming their control over the flow of the game regardless of the final result.
The report pointed out that this percentage matches what Barcelona previously achieved in a league match against Real Madrid, reflecting the current team's ball control and ability to dictate the pace of matches against their traditional rival.
The report confirmed that Barcelona, under Flick's leadership, continues to impose its style based on control and possession, reaffirming its strong presence in major matches.
